albertz Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hello Chaps, just finished this 1/48 skyray, my modelling efforts have dropped off since new job takes me away from home, so making the most of january off. A bit glad to see it finished to be honest, was fed up of it by the end! 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Beautiful Ford! One I need to get in the gentleman's scale (although it won't have your model's wonderful detail). Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hello,Albertz - I'm pleased you fought the battle with this and won.That is a beautifully built and finished 'Skyray'. All the best,Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Beautiful Ford - well done! I built the Tamiya 1:72 scale kit some years ago, but I'm not familiar with the quarter scale version. Does that kit come with the radar and engine panels open, along with the folding wings? Or is that some nifty scratchbuilding on your part? Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Bill No, had to cut the nose and engine panel out, wing fold detail is straight out of the box, scratchbuilding? With my hands? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
